1. Chapter 8 Light Reactions

2. Need To Know How photosystems convert light energy into chemical energy. (There will be more on this in the next couple of days.) How photosystems convert solar energy to chemical energy. How linear electron flow in the light reactions results in the formation of ATP, NADPH, and O 2 How the formation of a proton gradient in the light reactions is used to for ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate by ATP synthase.
